Called To Friendship - David & Jonathan

Have you found the Jonathan or Davids in your life?

Well, it should still be fresh in your memory the message that was shared today on pulpit. Just recap a few pointers & i thought maybe we can all share here some thoughts on it?

1 Samuel 17:55-18:3

Introduction: The key problem for most of us is that we don't see friends as a gift from God.

The Difference: David & Jonathan were from incredibly different backgrounds yet they could in modern day context, click very well. One of the key things is because Jonathan didn't need David in his life to meet any needs. He was already complete in Christ. He was not dependent on David...

Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself. (18:1)

The knitted souls was an act by God...this means that all our friendships are given by God.
And since our sole agenda in life is to respond to calling of God, our friends must help us to fulfill our calling.

The Departure: There comes a day where we have to say "goodbye" to our friends.

42Jonathan said to David, "Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the LORD, saying, 'The LORD will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'"

Remember that God is the creative space between you & your friends!
